@bunnymaevenus Yeah i definitely think it shouldn’t be the norm for paralives as well. And especially trying it this early on 😭

@shaniigames tbh i just think it’s ridiculous to paywall mods in general. the diehard sims fans normalized this behavior and now the modders think that it applies to other games as well.. when in reality, paywalling mods is a weird thing to do in any other situation 😭

The sims paywalling discourse is tired… The real point is a game 5 days old in EARLY ACCESS nowhere near its final state has people trying to monetise what’s missing… 😭🤦🏾‍♀️

@MelaninTelly I think within the Sims community it’s going to have to be an agree to disagree situation. Both sides have points and can go back and forth all day about who’s right or wrong. I don’t personally agree with paywalling, but my main issue here is how quickly it was done.

@shaniigames I don't know as a CC Creator I do get both sides paywalling, something that just came out is crazy but y'all do not understand how hard it is to create mods😭😂 and the time that it takes! I only do Build buy cc so I can Imagine what people do or go thro when dealing with mods.

good morning and HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🥹💗🏳️‍🌈

getting paralives fomo

@iiimaka Well yes! However in this case, not saying anything will set a certain precedent in the modding community. If the game was around for a few years it would be slightly more understandable trying to monetise, right or wrong but the timing as of now is extremely poor.

@shaniigames Remember god give us all self will, you don’t like something don’t bother with it.

Paralives not even week old and ppl already trying to make money of it 🤦🏾‍♀️

My first mod. Elder's will no longer become "Dangerously Tired" from exercise and woohoo. Available soon 😃 #thesims4 #sims4

thinking about starting my love island series again for streaming this year 🤔 but I get so bored as the gameplay feels repetitive 😭

@OutishWrld my babies❤️

Where yall at?

@billypereke honestly because must have known most people would want the mods they put out especially the camera one seeing as so many ppl use in. Definitely a cash grab.

@shaniigames Its so crazy And predatory

I haven’t had the chance to play Paralives yet (soon TM) but I’d have to say It’s quite sad that this is what the first week turned into. It was fun seeing everyone discovering the new features and being happy about a life sim for once ❤️

This has been a small passion project of mine that I'm really excited about - functional Rhode eyepatches and pimple patches! These are overrides of the animal masks and the hydrating mask. Spa Day game pack required 🫧 free to public #thesims4 🔗 + more info below!

@AugustPromotion I think they are paetron

@shaniigames Why has a paid mod. I only see the free ones on Steam??

@1mooresimmer I mean this is a discussion about paralives, the conversation about paywalling and the sims is a lost cause. But like you said about paywalling tray files once it starts, it doesn’t stop. And I would hate for the same to happen to Paralives especially so early on.

@shaniigames It's better than monetizing the crap out of tray files. Making mods is a lot of work compared to building a house in The Sims 4. Milking every dollar out of your supporters for bare minimum effort. I agree that locking mods behind an early access paywall game is ridiculous.

@okindecisive yeah idk I think someone bought that up to one of them and they really didn’t have much of an answer 😭

@shaniigames like what is the plan when people fork thousands over to these creators and then the game implements the features for free??

@a_eldstdaughter Money*

@a_eldstdaughter That part, let the devs figure stuff out first before trying to make some many out of it 😭

@chrollokitty Yep that’s exactly it 😭if you want to make mods to enhance how the game is at this stage fine but to try and make money out of it is ridiculous…

@shaniigames the level of greed is vile bcs its even an indie game made by a small team 🫩they’re literally asking to tell them what is missing so they can upgrade it for us but here are the losers trying to get money off of it

@sorata__kun Yep that’s exactly what I’ve seen it’s crazy and makes no sense 😭

@shaniigames You'll be gagged that a less than a month old game have a mod that is paywalled for a MONTH 💔
